Warning! Don't build this yourself. I built one about the same size,
the Charles Morgan, whaler, and it took 4 years of constant work,
massive research, and a bag of home made tools. Ya ever try and load
a 6 inch whaleboat with harpoons, buckets of line, water, provisions,
rudder, oars, and a working sail? And still room for a crew when the
boat is lowered??? In scale, and all functional???

I repeat, do not try this at home! Spend the ten grand, build a
case yourself, and lie to your friends. Better yet, buy more power
tools!

It looks like a fine work.

You doubtless have seen the real one. Have you seen the French
reconstruction of the Frigate Hermione? It's quite a piece of carpentry.
